Airline Name: Air Tahiti Country: French Polynesia Callsign: IATA/ICAO Code: QE/TAH Aircraft: BNI Notes: Not related to the current Air Tahiti. Renamed Air Moorea in 1986 and Air Polynésie became the current Air Tahiti. Operated high frequency service between Papeete and Moorea. Aircraft split to avoid the FS 100+ flight errors. Air Tahiti operated a fleet of Pipers on sightseeing flights, to be added once there's a good way to do them. Download: BRW_AirTahiti_Su83.zip

Airline Name: Ecuatoriana Country: Equador Callsign: ECUATORIANA IATA/ICAO Code: EU/EEA Aircraft: 707, B72 Notes: Sadly, most of the Calder-inspired aircraft were painted into a standard livery, with the exception of the 720 Convertible. Since the aircraft were also considered military aircraft, I've added some international destinations that weren't regularly scheduled. Download: BRW_Ecuatoriana_Su83.zip

I'm a visual person so being able to see all the routes for the plans I've made makes me very happy. I've been using Airline Route Mapper by one of the FlyerTalk guys. Since the program runs on external data files, I can import my own data to display. I only import completed flightplans so there's still many airlines missing. I'm also only adding the scheduled flights, not any of the representative charters I've added in post.  If anyone is interested, you can get the program HERE, then unzip and drop THESE FILES into the directory. Override when prompted since I added some aircraft types and numerous airports. I really do enjoy seeing the world fill up airline by airline! |

Airline Name: Austral Lineas Aereas Country: Argentina Callsign: AUSTRAL IATA/ICAO Code: AU/AUT Aircraft: M80, B11 Notes: It's likely most if not all BACs carried "Las Malvinas" titles at the time but with the lack of photos, I can't prove it either way.

Airline Name: Bering Air Country: United States Callsign: REGISTRATION IATA/ICAO Code: AS/ Aircraft: PAG, CNA Notes: Operating village service for Alaska Airlines from Nome and Kotzebue. In June 83, Alaska purchased 2 Pipers and immediately leased them to Bering to upgrade Bering's services and begin co-op from OME and OTZ. With the advent of the mail bypass system (bypassing USPS employees and carrying mail directly from one point to another), they needed the extra lift. Download: BRW_BeringAir_Su83.zip

Interesting routing down in Africa. I wonder what business does Interflug have on that region?

Interesting routing down in Africa. I wonder what business does Interflug have on that region? Communist nations maintained links to other communist nations. That's why Interflug flew to Havana and Hanoi rather than, say Toronto and Hong Kong. Cubana maintained service to weekly service to Berlin and Prague with fortnightly flights to Luanda/Maputo, CSA had flights to Havana and Hanoi, even TAAG flew to Havana and Moscow. Wait until you see Aeroflot. They had their fingers in all the developing African, Central American, and South American countries. |
